  1. ANCIENT EGYPT The Quest for the Royal Ankh

  2. YOUR MISSION The story of King Tut has always been surrounded by mystery. Was he murdered or did he die of natural causes? The CIA, FBI and National Geographic Magazine are pulling together some of the top scientists in the world to investigate a new rumor swirling around the boy prince. It seems that hieroglyphics found in Cairo suggest that there was a secret message written on an ankh buried in King Tut’s tomb.

  3. Ankh

  4. This ankh is said to hold the secrets to not only the boy king’s reign as pharaoh, and his death, but it is also a clue to all the secrets of the Ancient Egyptians. Remember the Egyptians were among the first to learn about science, medicine and mathematics. This could be the greatest discovery of all time…..IF IT IS REAL!!!!

  5. Teams of the best and the brightest are being pulled together from countries all over the world. Each team will have the following members: Archaeologist Forensic scientist Reporter for National Geographic Anthropologist (Some will also have a historian)

  6. There is much riding on this discovery so any technology you may need will be at your disposal: computers, books, videos, you name it. However, because this is so important, you have been given a special high security clearance by the Pentagon. This clearance allows you to use the newest and greatest technology available to the military only, including their newest invention….
